Week In Review: 9/5/10 – 9/11/10

By Zachary Links | September 12, 2010 at 8:24pm CDT

I've been waiting all day for Sunday night, because that's when we take a look back at the week that was on MLBTR..

  • Waves were made on Sunday when Cards skipper Tony La Russa confirmed that Colby Rasmus had demanded a trade earlier in the season.  La Russa also said that the youngster made a similar request in 2009.  Rasmus later denied making such a request this year.
  • We learned on Wednesday that the Red Sox offered Victor Martinez a two-year contract extension.  However, he turned that proposal down and his agent Alan Nero says that Martinez is seeking a long-term commitment.
  • Meanwhile, Boston is prepared to pick up David Ortiz's option.  Big Papi's option calls for him to earn $12.5MM in 2011.
  • Boston veteran Mike Lowell put all speculation to rest this week when he announced that he will retire after this season.
  • Surprisingly, Aramis Ramirez says that he may not exercise his 2011 option worth $14.6MM.
  • The Nats likely won't pick up Adam Kennedy's option for 2011.
  • After DFA'ing Akinori Iwamura and Erik Kratz early in the week, the Bucs chose to release Iwamura and outright Kratz to Triple-A.
  • It appears that Kevin Towers is the frontrunner for the Diamondbacks GM job.
  • Speaking of Towers, the Padres DFA'd Steve Garrison and Towers convinced his current employers, the Yankees, to pick him up.  The Yankees designated Wilkin De La Rosa for assignment in order to make room for the pitcher.
  • The Dodgers designated infielder Ronnie Belliard for assignment.
  • Reliever Taylor Buchholz landed with Toronto after being DFA'd by Colorado on Tuesday.
  • Pat Knows.  The Royals signed former Dolphins and West Virginia quarterback Pat White to a minor-league deal.
  • The Phillies gave Nate Robertson his walking papers and claimed Cesar Carrillo from the Padres.
  • The Angels released reliever Brian Stokes, whom they acquired last winter from the Mets.  Utility player Robb Quinlan was also released by the Halos.
  • Arizona acquired Matt Gorgen from the Rays to complete the July 31st Chad Qualls deal.

    If anyone buys the idea that Aramis Ramirez wont exercise his player option next year, youre quite gullible.

    Im sure the Cubs front office gets a chuckle out of the comments and are praying hes dumb enough to walk away from the 14 million.

      Lazy bum? Or bad break? He’s had two injury filled seasons. That’s just bad luck and a bad break. He’s actually one of the few Cubs hitters who’s still trying at the plate. If there’s a man named Ramirez who’s lazy, his first name is Manny.
